Are you also impressed by the fact that La Fiorina has cut the cartridge
capacity to 2000 pages... for 5% covererage? Do you really figure you'll get
2000 pages? (See deep down inside the user manual, that's the only place
you'll find the info about the cartridge capacity.) For 6$ (CAN) more, you can
get 1000 pages extra from a Samsung ML-1740 cartridge!

The salesman at Staples told me the black ink cartridge for the PSC 1350 costs
40$... for 250 pages!!! La Fiorina is really playing the ink game!

The lady is scrapping HP's reputation to patch the holes she created. Just as
Iacocca did at Chrysler's without creating the problems, I'd like to see her
put the ink/toner back in the cartridges from her multi-million dollar salary.

For figures see:

Hey! You put a lot of ink back in the cartridges for that kind of money.

As you can see, the problem is not only Korean wages being lower, it's
America's top level "officers" pillaging their companies.

Samsung is a much larger company than HP. Do you figure its president is paid
the kind of money La Fiorina is getting?

Still impressed? Comments, Mr Headrick?

Hey GP! You really need to get over this rant your on, about the excessive
cost of inkjet ink, and laser toner! We're all too well aware of the high
cost of consumables. Get over it!

Maybe you should consider starting a business, competing with these
companies you keep complaining about. Think of all the business you could
get away from them, and still make a great profit!
